Cpl. Ronald Francis serves with J Division in New Brunswick, and received a prescription for medical-grade marijuana on Nov. 4.

Do you think this is right? 20 Year service and this is what he gets so unfair. My heart goes out to Cpl. Ronald Francis. Love & Peace Watch Video and Read Story on https://www.facebook.com/C...

College president Dr. Mark Chapelski elaborated at last week’s council meeting, explaining that the rules aim to prevent cer...

Last Modified: Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 7:33 p.m. Every few months, cancer patient and Boynton Beach resident Jeffrey Kennedy flies to Northern California — not for treatment, but to get medical-grade marijuana.

“What has the War on Drugs done in the world?” This is a big issue because it’s good people losing their jobs, their homes, even their children. It’s not because they hurt anyone but because they chose to use one drug (marijuana) instead of another (oxy, etc.). It’s clear that war on drugs has not been successful. Not only has it failed but its been counterproductive in that it has generated a criminal culture much like alcohol prohibition did in 1930s. Dr. Sanja Gupta, the chief medical co...

The Canadian Medical Association is worried that as large medical marijuana grow facilities get federal licences, more patients will be glamouring for a drug many doctors are uncomfortable prescribing. Starting April 1, medical marijuana users in Canada will no longer be able to grow their own. Instead, they'll have to get pot from producers licensed by Health Canada. When the change was announced in June, Health Canada said the number of people authorized to use marijuana for medical reasons ...

This isn’t a great time for small Canadian mining businesses. For the past couple of years, people have worried that China’s economic problems will keep it from buying metals and minerals in big quantities, as it once did, which has lowered prices for some of those commodities. Plus, mine workers are aging and retiring, and there may not be enough younger people to replace them. The combined value of the hundred largest “junior” mining companies—the small ones focussed on exploring deposits, in ...

The legal marijuana market in the U.S. is projected to grow by 64 per cent over the next year, to $2.34 billion U.S., according to the second edition of the State of Legal Marijuana Markets reports. But what about Canada? It seems despite its reputation for progressive attitudes on weed, the Great White North is falling behind its southern neighbour on the issue. One way this can be seen is in the prices people pay for pot. A decade or more ago, high quality B.C. bud retailed on the streets of...

The question is no longer which disease cannabis can cure, but which disease can't it cure? A study published in Nature Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells. The study by Manuel Guzman of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth...

A group of federal researchers commissioned to prove the government’s claim that marijuana has “no medicinal value” may have unwittingly let some crucial research slip through the cracks, forcing the United States to admit that cannabis can kill cancer. Although, at first glimpse, the latest claim appears to be a cruel April Fools' prank from Nora D. Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), but after careful inspection, it seems that the federal government is actually su...

Last week, word leaked that GW Pharmaceuticals will supply the US government with cannabis-derived cannabidiol (C-B-D) for a special Investigative New Drug program, so at least 50 children with epilepsy can try the non-psychoactive marijuana-derived compound as a way to control seizures and treat their disease. Now, a GW-funded study published in the journal Anticancer Research has shown that cannabinoids – “the bioactive components of the cannabis plant that display a diverse range of therapeu...

As Justin Trudeau’s Liberals prepare to tackle the politics of legalizing weed, one challenge they face is how to crack down on those who light-up before getting behind the wheel.

But looking at how states like Colorado and Washington deal with drivers who have smoked marijuana could provide a blueprint. Back in February 17...
